*No More Homework, No More Books...

...No more students' dirty looks.* Just kidding. School's out! I'm retired! I did it! I'm done! Woo hoo! I fulfilled my promise to Autrey. He told me we could have a baby while he was in school if I would work until he graduated and could make money to support us. Done and done. I didn't know it would about kill me to do it, but I did it. Don't get me wrong. I love kids and I love teaching, but not when I am juggling a million things and would rather be at home with Dylan. Now I can be a stay at home mom. Tomorrow I start my new job with a classroom of one. I wish I could post a real picture of my class, but there are privacy issues involved. Oh well. I hope you enjoyed my catch-up blogging blitz last night. I have to return the school's laptop in a few minutes and wanted to do it while I had the chance. The other night Autrey helped me finish packing up my entire classroom. Not a quick or easy task. To his great pleasure I am bequeathing my teaching stuff to Meagan, who will be doing an internship in 1st grade in the fall. Meagan, you're welcome. Now you just have to figure out how to get it all to Utah. Tomorrow we fly to Texas to be with the Duke's. (St. Louis-ians, we'll be back before we move.) If you don't hear from me, I either don't have computer access or I have fallen into a deep coma to recover from this sleep deprivation. Ahhh, I wish you could see the prema-grin on my face right now as I'm sitting at my desk. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go enjoy my first few minutes of retirement freedom. Have a fantastic summer! I know I will!
